摘要
Extensive studies on the theoretical performance of Schottky-varactors and varistors as multipliers of a frequency around 100 GHz to the submillimeter region (400-1200 GHz) in various direct and cascaded configurations have been carried out using harmonic balance analysis. Because of high circuit losses (greater-than-or-equal-to 10 dB) in a multiplier chain producing 1 THz, the output power seems to stay at or below 100-mu-W even in the best multiplier configurations when the available input power at 100 GHz is 50 mW.
